AB 1788 would ban second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) throughout the state, except for agricultural use or by special permit. These are the most toxic—"one feeding kills"—poisons that stay in rodents' systems long after death and contaminate the food chain, causing poisoning to California's iconic wildlife. The bill would also ban the use of less potent, though still very dangerous, first generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGARs) on state-owned lands. A recent analysis of 11 studies found that more than 85% of California mountain lions, bobcats, and Pacific fishers have been exposed to these dangerous poisons. Recent studies also found that 70% of Northern spotted owls and 40% of barred owls were exposed.
